apropos of nothing, there are a LOT of perhaps well-meaning people who have no idea what the word "accountability" means. usually the concept they're reaching for is capital punishment. i get it because crime pays shockingly well right now, but without intellectually honest lexicon we are so fucked.

These neo-Nazi fuckers have been driving a ladder around town putting up heavy coroplast signs stapled so hard they won't budge if you can even reach them. This is after ICE stole somebody from the courthouse down the street last week. I appreciate the police keep taking them down for us but damn.

I've been thinking about why kink community is shooting itself in the foot by overcorrecting for its marginalization and misrepresentation by making it a completely inseparable part of every community member's outward persona -- a frankly antisocial practice that loses ground -- it's *platforms*.

It would be one thing if this misbehavior simply earned you nullroutes and filtering and new hurdles for humans to clear, but the purveyors are increasingly capable of circumventing all available mitigations. What do you do with this? Call AI stupid and "ban" it? Does that help?
Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working.
I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

The piles of confidently, finger-pointingly, derangedly out-of-touch, obscenely wrong shit people will fellate each other with on this platform, knowing the stuffy culture here can bandwagon it with zero pushback because on some level we all know it's not worth it, is such a sick state of existence.

knowing how things work allows you to criticize and fight things way better than ignoring them because you dislike them does

The depth of depravity required to defend the state of Israel in late 2026, with so much bared to public record, is intolerable to see from people you once thought humane and rational, now misappropriating select nuances of a long history into the service of miserable, ultimately fascistic conceits.

USPS union finally won putting AC in the trucks. Unfortunately the administration thought that stood for AI Cameras
New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. This is to gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software

so today I learned that Canadian engineers take a sacred oath written by Rudyard Kipling which is *clearly* worded to bind them as defenders against the fae.

I'm not gonna get into it, but on rare occasions I look back in disbelief on how much historical shit I've been involved with or entangled in that, despite being very much an open book, probably nobody will ever know about and even I'll barely remember.
Just know that I don't talk out of my ass.

Sure, go ahead, post about a relatively important distinction that matters, I say to myself. People can handle it without being too weird, I reassure myself.

I said when this began that Israel planned to use their fleet of armored Caterpillar war-bulldozers to flatten and redevelop Palestine, but it seems they've decided it's better to let the rubble lie first, to ensure it sinks in what power is capable of normalizing in 2026: Hiroshima-like imagery.
Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Criticizing the state of anti-AI advocacy from a largely aligned position isn't my whole fucking personality. I have a lot going on. It is, however, THIS WHOLE FUCKING WEBSITE 80% OF THE TIME. And I make the mistake of reading this website hoping to see literally anything else almost ever.

The thing that worries me most lately is that many people who know that “fascism is bad, actually” have also convinced themselves that AI tools must be eschewed as fake or impure.
In a self-reinforcing loop, there is relatively little AI tooling and infra by “fascism is bad” folks.

It will pan out in short order to be a generational embarassment to socialist analysis that so many people failed or declined to assess LLMs as a means of production, as if capable of serving only the preferred forms of capital, wishing it away like the idealists their ostensible idols criticized.

As somebody who's dealt with a lot of abusive people over the years, I'm plenty used to working hard to convince ppl/groups of what is the right thing to do until they eventually decide it was their idea all along. I don't care whether anybody acknowledges my role if it gets the job done. Priorities
